For a growing selection of our checks and recommendations, there's an option to fix or optimize it directly from TrueClicks.
That way, you don't have to leave TrueClicks to go to the Google Ads interface or Editor to make the recommended changes.
To make this work, you first need to add your personal Google Ads login as described over here. You only need to do this once.

How solutions work in TrueClicks
For each type of check that you can fix from TrueClicks, there's a primary solution and usually also a secondary solution.
For example, if a URL is broken, the primary solution is to change that URL into a working one. The secondary solution is to pause the corresponding ads or keywords. Both solutions would solve the problem and you're free to apply your choice to all items at once or to make a different choice per item.
See the short video below for how this works:
